About This Quiz

The world is a pretty big place. With so many countries to choose from, how does a person even decide where they should live? Does it come down to where their job takes them? Or perhaps they're drawn to a certain area, all for the promise of local cuisine? Does the idea of moving to a completely foreign place excite you? Or would you rather make a home in one place and one place only? Let's see what the future holds for you by finishing this quiz! A short 30-question quiz stands between you and your destiny. Will you be moving to haggis-filled Scotland, where tartan will be around every corner you pass? Or will you find yourself in the home of anime, with all the bright lights of Japan? Perhaps you'll even be drawn in by the warmth and coast that Australia has to offer! If none of those sound appealing, then maybe basing your homestead in the United States would be more your speed. Before you start packing your bags to set out on your new life, let's figure out which location we're setting the GPS for. Let's answer the question: Where will you live in 5 years?
